The BAD

Truck is starting to rust at the rockers and at the rear wheel wells. Have pictures to show it.

Front driver’s fender has to scrapes in it that happened about 3 year ago. I have filled them with paint and they have never rusted.

There is a crack in the dash.

Front driver’s seat has a small hard rub mark of discoloration in the center of the seat. No tears.

Exhaust needs to be repaired. It needs a new muffler. The muffler has rusted through at the tail pipe.

If I were to keep this truck my list of things to do would be as follows.

- Find a new southern truck bed and have it painted to match. I hate rust and the fenders really bug me.

- when the bed is off I would replace the entire exhaust system. It has exceeded its life expectancy for an aftermarket system and the truck needs a new one. Paint rear section of truck frame with rust preventative paint. Try and keep it from rusting.

- That is about it. The truck mechanically is dead nuts dependable. It fires first time every time. Even in the cold of winter. (however, it is always plugged in) I have taken this truck on long trips towing bumper pull and 5th wheel trailers from 5k to 18k in weight and never had a problem with it. Empty the truck gets 15-22mpg towing it gets 9-14mpg depending on wind and trailer size.

Thanks for looking. I have more pictures I can send a link for.

Additional items you may consider.

I have an Aftermarket Set of 20” chrome wheels and tires that I will be selling.

I also have a 5th wheel hitch from B&W. Called the Companion. It bolts down through the goose neck for towing your fifth wheel camper. We used it for pulling ours
